SURESHAN* C/O Department of Zoology, University of Calicut, Kerala-673635, India *Western Ghat Regional Centre, Zoological Survey of India, Kozhikode-673006, Kerala, India E-mail: [email protected] INTRODUCTION DESCRIPTION The Subfamily Tetrastichinae of the Eulophidae was 1. Aprostocetus barnallicus sp. nov. recently studies by Narendran (2007) in a preliminary (Figs. 1 & 2) taxonomic revision. Since then the second author of Female (Holotype) : L (including ovipositor sheath) : this paper (PMS) had collected several specimens of 5.82 mm; OPS 1.8 mm. Black with metallic green Tetrastichinae from North eastern part of India viz. refringence except the following parts : eyes and ocelli Arunachal Pradesh which belongs to the hot-spot areas dark brown; cervix pale yellow; posterior margin of of biodiversity. Among these collections six species pronotum pale; scape pale yellow; pedicel and anelli belonging to the genera Aprostocetus Westwood and pale brownish yellow; lower margin of clypeus and gena Tetrastichus Haliday are found to be new to science. pale brownish yellow; mandibles light brown; legs pale These new species do not fit to the keys by Narendran whitish yellow except base of hind coxa which is black (2007) and to any of the described species of Oriental with metallic green refringence; pretarsi dark brown; and Palearctic region (Narendran, 2005, 2007, Narendran ovipositor sheath black; ovipositor pale brownish et al., 2004, Graham, 1987, 1991, Noyes, 2003). yellow. Head: W in anterior view as long as its height, W MATERIAL AND ME'IHODS in dorsal view 2x its L; frons and vertex weakly reticulate, The specimens were collected and curated by lower margin of clypeus with two teeth medially; each methods described by Narendran (2001). The card mandible with two teeth visible; POL 1.75x OOL; AOL mounted specimens were studied in the laboratory using shorter than OOL; LOL slightly longer than AOL but Leica Stereozoom microscope (MZ6).
